Charlotte & Opie |
Charlotte had 4 babies born on 5/14. They are 2 boys and 2 girls. First photos with eyes open are below.
The 2 boys are sold. |
Charlotte is a silver tabby with huge eyes. She is really my girl. You know how some cats just choose one person to be "their person"? Well, Charlotte has done that with me. She will share her time between both Mike and me, but after she's gone back and forth between us for awhile, she will end up with her face 3" from mine. And with those big eyes glaring into my face, she just knows I'm going to give in and pet her, and pet her, and pet her some more. Or if just the big eyes staring into my face doesn't do the trick, she will ever so gently reach out one paw and pat my cheek... What can I say? Who can resist that?

Opie is our chocolate smoke boy. We like to use Opie a lot in our breeding program for a couple of reasons... first, he's chocolate, but besides that, he's our smallest boy and has always, always given us really great kittens, no matter which girls we put him with.

7/5... We took these new pics of Charlotte's girls this afternoon. I'm not making separate pages for them yet... probably by next week. Nadia is the lighter of the two in the pictures of them together. Tasha is much darker. Both are super sweet. All of Charlotte's babies loved to be picked up and talked to. I'm trying to get Charlotte to spend more time around the house, but she prefers to be with the babies. Mike and I take turns visiting them frequently each day. Every time either of us go into that room, they cry for us to pick them up and talk to them. Socializing our kittens starts when they are first born and continues with us visiting them over and over again each day... picking them up and talking to them frequently.
This first group of pictures is of Nadia.
These are Tasha.
6/3... Below are pictures of Nadia and Tasha.when they first opened their eyes.

This is one of our first group shots Mom let's the kids sleep when she's not nursing them. I have 2 carpeted triangle shelves in each corner of these cages that hang from the top. Mom likes to spread out on one side or the other where she can keep an eye on the kids but gives them plenty of space to move around or snuggle next to each other for a nap. The one in the back is a girl, as is the one on the far right. The 2 boys are in front.
